My dear Sun: I have your letter of the 15th inst. In regard to the bill of Coe’s and Young for shoes let me say I did decline to pay the bill when it was rendered. I did so on the ground that the prices charged you were exorbitant and unreasonable. If you accepted those prices at the time, the bill must of course be paid. Let me say, however, that I cannot in justice to your parents continue to meet in the future unreasonable bills of this character. Eight or nine dollars a pair for shoes is too much altogether. At the present time your funds are almost exhausted, and hence I am more than ever concerned to see additional bills coming in, with very little is sight with which to meet them. I suppose you will soon receive additional remittances from home, but until these come, please be as careful as you can about contracting new debts. Please let me know whether you understood the price of the shoes at the time you ordered them. Very truly yours. Alfred E. Stearns. Dr. Alfred E.

My dear Sun: I have this morning received your letter of the 26th inst. and am enclosing, as requested, check for twenty dollars, though I do so very reluctantly. I don’t see why you should always need more money than the other Chinese boys. I don’t mean to imply that your father may not have the money to give you, but Mr.Tong’s definite instructions were that the boys in his charge should be kept within reasonable limits in their expenditures. The recent Chinese Minister, Sir Chentung Liang Cheng, told me again that one of the greatest dangers besetting the Chinese boys in this country lay in the tendency to undue extravagance in money matters. I feel in a measure personally responsible for the development of the character of every Chinese boy with whom I come in contact, and the best character cannot be developed where a boy is careless and extravagant in money matters. This is just as true of our American boys as it is of our Chinese students. Under the circumstances I merely wish to emphasize what I have said before, that it seems imperative that you should attempt to curtail your expenses more than you have done thus far. Will you please also send me a detailed statement of the way in which you spend the money sent you for the vacation. Please understand I do not mean to criticize unnecessarily, but I do not wish your father or your friends to feel that I have been negligent in holding you up to standards that will mean the most for future usefulness to China and to the world. With the best wishes for the New Year, believe me. Sincerely yours. Dr. Alfred E.
